#ya reader

I figured that a lockdown was a good time to tell people about Edelweiss!

If you’ve ever wondered “how do people get so many “Advanced Reader’s Copies???” the answer is usually Edelweiss+

So that obviously makes Cinder Max.

Flynn + Max ... Thorne + Cinder ... It’s the exact same relationship and it makes me so happy.

"Young people don't read anymore," cries your local cynic. "They're always on their phones." Clearly, they've never met a YA reader.

YA readers use their spare time to write fan fiction, make GIF sets, and create blogs with the same fervor people have for pop stars and TV shows. So it's no surprise that YA books have some of the most passionate fandoms.

The passion is contagious, but do you have to be 18 and under to enjoy it? Or are older YA readers doomed to live out this Steve Buscemi meme from 30 Rock whenever they encounter other fans?

For the record, you don't have to be young to enjoy young adult books. You shouldn't feel embarrassed about identifying with characters who may be half your age or more. Reading is reading—so read unapologetically. Yes, growing up often means moving on, but you don't have to leave behind the stories that speak to you.
